Episode 32
Two-faced?
Are you sure?
Yes.
He's great at maintaining his image, isn't he?
The Gentle and Kind Mr Chuan.
But my friend told me that
he's got a really bad temper.
He's ambitious but incompetent.
When he was signing for Book of Luo He God,
he asked for the same minimum print run of a top author.
Who does he think he is?
Do all the editors from Yuan Yue Publishing House
know what kind of person he is?
More than half of them know.
Except some diehard fans of his.
He has fans in the editorial department?
There's more.
Zhou Chuan's girlfriend is there too.
It's very complicated inside.
They mix business with personal matters.
And there are many backdoor deals.
Don't tell me his girlfriend
is the editor of the Book of Luo He God?
I don't know about that.
But my friend said that
they are tighter than that.
She joined them two years ago,
yet she managed to sign up Jiang Yu Cheng and Zhou Chuan.
Are you saying that
she signed them up through unjust means?
I didn't say that.
Just wait for their official statement.
If they stand up for Zhou Chuan,
it must have something to do with the editor.
After all,
do you think they would
believe that Zhou Chuan didn't use a ghostwriter?
The ghostwriting rumours
aren't over yet.
And now the recording.
Not only the editorial department,
even Yuan Yue Publishing House was dragged into this.
Official statement?
What official statement?
He's talking nonsense and making irresponsible remarks.
Why should Zhou Chuan
and Yuan Yue Publishing House take the blame for what he said?
You think you can reason with the netizens?
At this point,
if we were to stand up for Zhou Chuan,
it will further prove that
what he said is true.
Who is this person?
An anonymous whistleblower.
His voice was fake.
We have no idea who he is.
This recording
has gone viral on the Internet.
They not only called Yuan Yue Publishing House
unscrupulous
but also dragged Chu Li into this.
Song Xi's assistant
liked this recording.
Cocoon popped up and reaffirmed
that you were flirting with Chu Li
when you guys were working together.
Giving them two pieces of evidence.
Then...
Mr Liang,
how would you like things handled?
Now,
we'll release a statement on behalf of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
Saying that
we won't defend any writers.
We'll put our contract with Zhou Chuan on hold
until the truth is revealed.
How could you do this?
I've given him enough leeway.
Once he proves that he's innocent,
Yuan Yue Publishing House is still willing to work with him.
You know how aggressive the netizens are.
If you don't defend him,
the official statement
will affirm that Zhou Chuan did use a ghostwriter.
I don't care whether he used a ghostwriter or not.
Do you understand?
All I care about is whether it will
taint the reputation of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
Chu Li,
do you know what they said about us?
They accused
Yuan Yue Publishing House of serious nepotism.
That all we care about is money.
That we're gross and dirty.
All sorts of accusations!
If other writers were affected
because of this and
it has an impact on our sales,
can the two of you
take the responsibility for it?
Are we going to abandon
our writer at this point in time?
Chu Li,
at this point in time,
you need to be clear whether
you're Zhou Chuan's girlfriend
or an employee of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
I know what you want to do.
But if you admit
your relationship with Chu Li,
you'll put her at the centre of controversy.
I don't understand.
I'm just a writer,
not a celebrity.
I was just writing my books at home.
How did I get into this mess?
And now Chu Li was dragged into this.
You're more concerned about
Chu Li than yourself.
I understand that.
But you should stop posting
anything that's related to Chu Li.
The more you said,
the worse it gets.
Keep calm.
Don't act rashly.
We don't know
how it'll turn out at Chu Li's end.
Be patient.
Seems like Mr Zhou Chuan and you have offended many people.
You even got yourself an anonymous whistleblower.
Mr Liang's told the legal department to draft the statement.
Even if Mr Xia were to come back,
I bet Director Yang won't change his decision.
Let them release the statement then.
I thought you were going to do something.
But it's okay,
Mr Zhou Chuan is your boyfriend after all.
He'll understand why you give in.
Who says I'm going to give in?
Bai Zhi,
have you heard about Zhou Chuan?
Mr Luo,
we make books, not chasing after gossip.
Yes, we make books.
So, I advise you to act with caution.
You might want to stop reprinting
Zhou Chuan's Huang Quan Inn.
-We're... -Gu Bai Zhi!
It's non-negotiable.
Stop the re-printing immediately!
Director,
Mr Zhou Chuan's editor posted on Weibo.
And Yuan Yue Publishing House released
the official statement at the same time.
I'll have a look at it.
Hello, everyone. I'm Chu Li.
I'm one of the editors of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
I'm also Mr Zhou Chuan's editor.
The reason I'm posting this is because
I've got two things to let you know.
First of all,
what was said in the recording
has been maliciously manipulated.
Second of all,
Mr Zhou Chuan never hired a ghostwriter.
No matter who the ghostwriter is,
he would never do that.
He's above that.
And I believe, one day,
the truth will be revealed to you.
Posted
Chu Li,
you're such a fighter. Why did you...
I've contacted Suo Heng and Ghost.
I told them not to get involved.
I can't drag them into this.
Aren't you afraid of getting implicated?
Chu Li!
Chu Li!
What did I ever do to you?
Why do you always pick on me?
I just released the statement
and you gave me a smack in the face right after that.
What does that mean?
Do you want to lose your job?
I'm an editor of Yuan Yue Publishing House,
that's why I need to speak up!
I've been Zhou Chuan's editor since the beginning!
I know him
better than any one of you!
I know him well! He would never do that!
If Yuan Yue Publishing House is not going to support him, I will!
Fine, you're a man of honour!
Now get lost!
How dare you tell Chu Li to get lost?
Mr Xia, I thought tomorrow...
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow, I'm afraid you'll fire everyone
in the editorial department.
We'll have a meeting now.
Let's go.
Mr Xia, have some drinks.
Liang.
Liang,
what do you mean by your statement?
We not only did not
have our writers' back,
we also pushed them into the abyss of a disaster.
Hurry up
and withdraw the statement.
Mr Xia,
calm down.
It's bad for your health.
For your information,
Director Yang gave me a call this morning.
He made it clear that
he doesn't want Yuan Yue Publishing House
to get involved in this dispute.
But now you want me to withdraw the statement.
You're putting me in a difficult position.
Why don't you give Director Yang a call?
Even though Director Yang has given his order,
it's our job to release the statement.
Mr Liang,
you're overstepping your boundaries.
You're walking all over us,
you know?
Chief Editor Yu,
where's your manners?
I'm cleaning up the mess for the editorial department.
Mr Liang,
you acted totally different
when Zhou Chuan got nominated.
The man of honour,
you're still here.
Didn't you say you'll leave?
Leave then.
You don't need to
come back to Yuan Yue anymore.
I won't withdraw the statement.
And Mr Xia,
let me make myself clear.
I won't do anything
without Director Yang's order.
You...
Mr Xia!
Are you okay?
Call the ambulance!
Okay!
You're back.
How's Mr Xia?
His blood pressure went down
and he's stable now.
Mr Xia wanted me to tell you that
it wasn't our decision
to release the statement.
He will talk to Director Yang
and give you a reasonable explanation.
Tell Mr Xia to get plenty of rest
and not to worry about me.
Did Liang Chong Lang
fire you today?
Ah Xiang told you about that?
I'm fine.
No matter what, he has to
show respect to Mr Xia.
He didn't fire me.
He just demoted me to intern.
What's with that look?
This isn't
the first time my career hit a bump in the road.
I had a close call today,
but it's all right now.
I have to take the call.
Hello,
Mum.
You know I'm still your mother?
Tell me,
what's the nonsense
about the ghostwriting rumour?
It's become the talk of the town.
What did I tell you?
I told you not to go to Shanghai.
But you never listened to me.
You got your fingers burned now.
Did you call me
just to teach me a lesson?
Duh!
I've heard the recording.
Tell me,
did you offend anyone?
I've told you again and again
that you have to hold your temper.
Look at what has happened now.
Mum,
today...
My boss collapsed and was taken to the hospital
while trying to defend me.
Is he okay now?
He's fine.
He was taken to the hospital just in time.
Oh my God.
I'm glad he's fine.
Darling,
you must never forget
his kindness.
Did you hear me?
One more thing,
about the ghostwriting rumour,
is it real?
Of course not!
That's good to hear.
I know my daughter
will never do that kind of thing.
This
has become the talk of the town.
You must handle the problem nicely
and teach them a lesson.
Don't come home if you can't
settle the problem.
The word "deserter" is not in my dictionary.
You hear that?
Alright, you were the one
who acted up so that we'd let you become an editor.
Now that you've become an editor,
you must take it seriously
and carry out your responsibilities.
♫ A star must have fallen from the sky ♫
Okay?
Thanks, Mum.
I won't keep you any longer.
Take good care of yourself.
♫ I knew my mind in a sea of people ♫
Also, well...
If you need more money,
call your dad.
You hear me?
♫ I forgot how to fly as I want to approach ♫
Okay, bye.
♫ It's a heart-throbbing off-season ♫
♫ Where has the paper plane been? ♫
♫ The scenery has been ruined unknowingly ♫
♫ I believe you who have the most stories ♫
♫ Are willing to speak your mind to me ♫
♫ I may still feel lonely ♫
♫ Just one message from you makes me happy ♫
♫ Don't say I fulfil you, it just so happens ♫
♫ It just so happens that we are together ♫
Don't cry.
Maybe
I should stop writing.
What are you talking about?
Just that...
It's weird to think about.
♫ I discovered a secret recently ♫
All these years,
I've been working so hard on my books.
I've gained
many readers who always said they like me.
♫ Bad moods will heal without medicine ♫
But now they have turned against me
simply because of some ungrounded rumours.
♫ You and I going to the same destination ♫
They went around whining that
all these years,
♫ Our encounter is a miracle ♫
they had wasted their time
on an unworthy writer.
That's not true.
Zhou Chuan,
listen to me.
♫ The paper plane is flying against the wind ♫
I know
you don't need an editor.
You don't need anyone to
plan your career for you.
♫ Writing the warmest diary in light ink ♫
And you don't believe in anyone.
Just this once...
Just this once,
can you trust me?
♫ I won't simply let go of my dreams ♫
Don't give up.
We can solve this problem together.
♫ The higher I fly, the closer I get to the meteor ♫
I'm a newbie.
I'm nothing compared to the other
famous editors who wanted to sign you up.
But I have something they don't have,
♫ I may still feel lonely ♫
which is my willingness to lose everything.
Mr Zhou Chuan, could you
please consider me for the position?
♫ Just one message from you makes me happy ♫
I really want to be the editor in charge of the Book of Luo He God.
♫ Don't say I fulfil you, it just so happens ♫
If this is something
that you don't want to talk about,
I'm willing to help you move away from the past.
Come with me,
to the bright future ahead of us.
♫ Please don't cry, there will always be an answer ♫
♫ That will bring you good luck ♫
♫ We don't fulfil each other, it just so happens ♫
Come home with me.
♫ It just so happens that we are together ♫
Er Gou, we're going on a little trip.
Mr Jiang will come and take care of you later.
Behave yourself.
Hello?
What?
Okay, I got it.
What's wrong?
Ah Xiang said that
Miao suddenly resigned just now.
What's even weirder is that
they can't get hold of
10 senior writers of Yuan Yue Publishing House
once he resigned.
They haven't even submitted their work.
You suspect that
Miao has something to do with this?
I can't be sure about that.
But if that's true,
we'd have trouble publishing the next issue of Moonlight Magazine.
Yuan Yue Publishing House would be in big trouble!
This won't do, I need to go to the office.
You must let me know
if you need my help.
I know.
Go home first.
I'll come back to you
once I sort things out.
Bye.
Slow down.
Miao,
you're in charge of more than half of the writers.
Don't you dare say you know nothing.
Enough,
Chief Editor Yu.
Starting from today,
I'm no longer a member of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
Stop making
false accusations against me.
You should think about
what you're going to explain
to Director Yang and Mr Xia.
I haven't even approved your resignation letter.
I won't impose upon you then.
I'll take my annual leave first.
Bye.
Guys,
there will be no farewell party.
So long, farewell!
Okay. Thank you, Ms Suo Heng.
Hello, Ghost.
Could you please write two more articles
that comply with the publication requirements?
Yes.
I don't have time to explain it.
Please.
Isn't this
Chu Li, the golden intern of Yuan Yue Publishing House?
Why isn't Mr Zhou Chuan here?
He's involved in so many scandals that
he's got no time for you, right?
Miao,
do you have anything to do with the writers?
It has nothing to do with me.
I'm no longer an employee of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
If you don't want people to know it,
the best way is not to do it.
Even if you deny it today,
you'll show the cloven hoof eventually.
You've been here for so long,
why would you make things difficult for us?
It's not too late to make the right decision.
Chu Li,
even though I'm no longer an employee,
I've had more than 10 years of experience in this field.
I don't need you to tell me what to do.
Do I need you to tell me
what to do
and what's right or wrong?
Do you know why I hate you so much?
I hate the way you
put up a pretentious show
and
think that you have
the ability to change the world.
That you can be an editor
who not only takes the writers' feelings into account
but also brings benefits to Yuan Yue.
You call yourself an editor?
You're just a dreamer, kiddo.
Well,
now you've single-handedly
ruined Zhao Chuan.
Yuan Yue Publishing House is also screwed up because of you.
I've got words for you.
You deserved it!
Do you hate Zhou Chuan and me that much?
Not just that much
but very much.
You're the anonymous whistleblower, aren't you?
You know the details of
marketing planning very well.
You were also the first person who contacted Zhou Chuan.
And you hate Zhou Chuan and me the most.
I'm such an idiot.
I've underestimated your shamelessness.
If you have no evidence at all,
I can sue you for defamation.
How is it?
They won't pick up the call.
It's okay, keep trying.
Hello, Director Yang.
Miao Jian could have resigned anytime
but he chose to resign when I'm on vacation!
Sis Xian Xian,
what are you doing here?
If I don't come back now,
I'm going to lose my job.
We only have two days before the deadline.
How many writers agreed to help?
I've got Ghost and Suo Heng...
Alright.
Sort out
all the categories of manuscripts you need
and send the file to me.
I'll ask my writers to write more articles.
Okay.
I'd never thought I'd see
the day Sis Xian Xian returned to work.
You're back.
Son, you're back.
Come here.
Son,
I knew you'd come back at this hour.
You've lost weight.
You're even skinnier than the last time I saw you.
I think he looks great.
You should
get a new pair of glasses.
Mum,
I'll take my luggage upstairs first.
Go then.
Listen,
our son
is upset because of
the rumours online.
You'd better watch what you say.
I'm upset too.
Why didn't you tell him not to bother me?
You're nothing compared to our son.
Old Zhou,
give our son a bowl of soup.
It's okay, Mum.
I'll do it myself.
That's what you're supposed to do.
How old are you?
How dare you let your elders serve you.
Where's your manners?
Why are you kicking me?
Did I say anything wrong?
No, you didn't.
Good.
We don't care
about the rumours at all.
Now that you're back,
you should take a good rest.
Dad, about this...
As long as you didn't do anything wrong,
you won't fall down.
You need to
solve your own problems.
Man
is born to trouble after all.
I know.
Not enough articles?
That bad?
I have several manuscripts.
I'll send it to you later.
Okay.

Oriental Beauty
You're...
Helping you.
You know what I want to do?
Find out the similarities between Zhou Chuan's
and his dad's writing, right?
But the mere analysis of the Book of Luo He God is not enough.
It'd be better if you have more samples, isn't it?
Yes.
Send my copy to Zhou Chuan as well.
The sooner this is over,
the sooner I can reprint Huang Quan Inn.
Okay.
Dad.
-Recently... -Son.
Here, eat some grapes.
I'm good, Mum. I'm...
Eat it. She has washed the grapes for you.
Don't force him to eat.
He can decide whether he wants to eat or not.
Look
how spoilt he is.
So what? I'm happy.
Old Zhou,
it's your interview.
Hello, everyone.
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
Welcome to Afternoon Reading.
We're greatly honoured today
to interview the famous author.
-Mr Zhou Gu Xuan. -Change the channel.
Why are we watching this?
I'm sure everyone knows Old Mr Zhou's book...
What's done is done.
Why don't you just admit it?
Right, son?
Hello, Old Mr Zhou.
Welcome to our show.
Lately, Zhou Chuan's ghostwriting rumour has become the talk of the town.
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
Have you given him any professional guidance
while he was writing back then?
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
I'd never do anything
to force a child's talent.
I know the netizens
think that
his debut novel
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
is too mature.
As a matter of fact,
that wasn't his first novel.
He had written
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
more than
a hundred thousands of words before this.
Could you please
provide us the details?
We had a huge fight
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
because of
his debut novel.
Until now,
we still hold different views on that issue.
I have no idea why this person
fabricated the story
that I'm my son's ghostwriter.
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
His teachers and friends have been
watching him since he started writing.
From a sentence,
to a paragraph,
and even a whole article.
They are well aware
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
of his writing skills.
And there's no need
for me to come out and clarify things.
Why are you looking at me?
You don't know your dad?
He had to do a lot of reading,
digest the information
and write them out in his words.
For example,
when you're writing a historical novel,
you need to do a lot of research.
We did it. We have enough manuscripts now.
Chu Li,
Old Mr Zhou's interview is airing now.
Let me have a look at it.
Digest the information
and write them out in his own words.
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
For example,
when you're writing a historical novel,
you need to do a lot of research.
While you're doing research,
you'll come across more knowledge.
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
When you've digested all the knowledge,
you write them out
in your own words.
It becomes your work.
And it's going to be there forever.
As expected of Old Mr Zhou.
I'm nothing compared to him.
I'd like to
remind certain people
Afternoon Reading - Zhou Gu Xuan's interview
that the world might not be
as good as you think.
Nevertheless,
it isn't as horrific as you think either.
I bet there'd be a shift
in public opinion now that this interview is aired.
I hope so.
Mum,
when did that happen?
When the ghostwriting rumour
first started,
he asked someone to put him on the show.
And they are airing it today.
I couldn't believe it as well.
He's a proud man,
but he's willing to be on the show.
All these years,
your dad has always cared about you.
Don't argue with him after this.
These are the authors that we've lost contact with, right?
Yes.
I'll visit them one by one.
I'll go with you.
It's okay. Stay here.
You need to design the layout
once you receive the manuscripts.
Okay then.
Good luck!
You too!
But Uncle,
you've been a part of Yuan Yue for so many years...
Okay.
I got it.
Was it Mr He Ma?
No.
What's actually going on?
You must have some idea.
Even if I do, why should I tell you?
Why?
Because
you're staying.
Mr He Ma recommended you.
Now that we couldn't get hold of him,
you'd naturally be the first person we'd come to.
If you're colluding with Miao,
you would have left with him.
But you chose to stay here.
Which means you don't agree with him as well.
So what?
Why should I help you?
You wouldn't have stayed
if you're not passionate about this career.
Are you kidding me?
To me,
this is nothing but a job.
Is that what you're really thinking about?
We all know
that Yuan Yue Publishing House
isn't the best one in this industry.
What keeps us here
are the passion and bond we shared.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Here's
where I met Mr Zhou Chuan,
Mr Jiang,
Chief Editor Yu,
Ah Xiang, Suo Heng
and Ghost.
What about you?
You care about your writers too.
I don't believe that
they are nothing but a part of the job for you.
If the second section is really going down,
Moonlight Magazine is doomed.
Have you ever thought about
what's going to happen to your writers?
I...
You're not helping us.
You're helping yourself
and your writers.
Could you please tell me
what Miao
said to those missing writers?
Chief Editor Yu,
I know what's going on.
Is that so?
I'd like to know
what's going on as well.
Mr Liang,
you've come to the editorial department again.
You think this is Disneyland?
You think I want to be here?
If I don't show up,
the second section
will be shut down soon.
Come to the meeting room now.
This is for you.
Put it down.
Thank you
for the interview.
I'm not only doing it for you,
I'm also doing it for myself.
I'm sorry
for getting you involved.
Although the rumour is completely groundless
and I've set the record straight,
the public opinion
will not subside so quickly.
The best way
to deal with this
is to make a comparison between the writing styles.
You can't
copy a writing style.
Words
have a mark of their own.
Believe it or not,
if I were to anonymously post those pieces of junk you wrote
when you were young,
your loyal readers would still be able
to tell that it's your writing right away.
My writing style?
I
might have written something
that's related to the Book of Luo He God
in my high school exam paper.
But it was so long ago
that I forgot which year it was.
Hold on.
Back then,
your teachers brought along these papers
when they came to
tell on you.
Perhaps you can find something here.
This is my old journal.
You're still keeping them
after all this time?
I forgot to throw them away.
I'll get rid of them once you're done.
They take up space.
Have you read my novel?
Why would you stay with me and look for the clues?
Duh!
You think I have too much time
to waste on meaningless things for you?
These junks weren't up to your standards.
Indeed, there's still some room
for improvement in your writing skill.
Nonsense!
Xiao Niao,
are you telling the truth?
Miao and Xin Dun Books have offered
very good working conditions.
But the writers,
including my uncle,
hadn't made up their minds
to leave with Miao at that time.
They have been here for so long,
the pay is not
the only reason that made them stay.
You're saying that
they are disappointed
because we've disassociated ourselves
from Zhou Chuan in the statement?
Are they really that fragile?
Nobody will believe that.
Mr Liang,
is that our main concern now?
The facts lie before us.
Aside from these two factors,
I must also mention Mr Xia.
What's with Mr Xia?
Word's gotten around that Mr Xia
was hospitalized because of this issue.
Everyone has great respect for him.
In light of this incident,
they think that Yuan Yue Publishing House has changed.
Besides, they got wind of the fact that
Mr Xia is going to retire
after the Huazhi Award is over.
There's nothing to keep them at Yuan Yue anymore.
Which is why it's better for them to go to Xin Dun Books.
These ungrateful punks.
We've been paying them for nothing.
That's not true.
Be it editors and authors
or authors and publishing house,
we have a symbiotic relationship.
You said we're the ones who took care of them,
but they were supporting us at the same time as well.
Right,
Xiao Niao,
you knew about this?
Why didn't you say anything?
What took you so long?
I...
What do you want her to do?
Should she cut ties with her uncle
just because she's our editor?
Mr Liang,
this is
the internal affairs of the second section.
I'll decide
what to do next.
Go back and take charge
of your circulation department.
I think
your blood sugar has dropped.
All right,
I'll find a way
to convince Director Yang
to withdraw the statement.
Don't stare at me with such open gratitude.
I don't want the second section
to be disbanded too.
I'm afraid that won't be enough.
Xiao Niao,
do me a favour.
Yuan Yue Publishing House
Xiao Niao.
Xiao Niao,
I'll go with you.
Do you not trust me?
It's not about that.
Mr He Ma is first on the the list
of people whom I need to pay a visit to.
So many of them?
Are you going to visit them one by one?
I know where he is.
I'll take you there.
Okay.
Mr He Ma!
-Xiao Niao. -Uncle.
You're...
Hello, I'm Chu Li.
I'm an editor from Yuan Yue Publishing House.
Zhou Chuan's editor?
Yes.
Today, I'm here to...
No matter why you're here,
I'm not interested in it at all.
Xiao Niao,
why did you bring her with you?
I'm sorry, Uncle.
But if there's a next time,
I'd still do it.
Mr He Ma,
I know you have many complaints
about Yuan Yue Publishing House right now.
But you've been working with
Yuan Yue Publishing House for so many years.
Please give me 10 minutes.
-Uncle. -Mr He Ma.
If possible,
could you please stop by Yuan Yue tomorrow?
We will definitely give you
an answer.
What answer?
Does Yuan Yue still have any respect
for the senior writers
like us?
I know. Times have changed.
People aren't interested in my writing anymore.
We've been working hard
on our books for so many years,
yet we're no better than some fresh meat.
Fresh meat?
Are you talking about Zhou Chuan?
I don't care what the other writers think.
But Yuan Yue Publishing House isn't
the same Yuan Yue Publishing House it used to be.
Those anime or harem novels...
I don't understand
what the young generation like now.
I'm glad I'm leaving now.
I can make space for them.
Mr He Ma,
I've heard that
when you first published
your fantasy novel on Moonlight,
many people thought it was a novel idea too.
But look, so many readers
gained a desire
to explore the unknown
and discover new worlds
because of your writing.
It doesn't matter if Moonlight Magazine is reformatted.
What's important
is that your work is touching
and time won't change it.
There will always be young people who like your work.
You really have a way with words.
I was speaking from my heart.
Moonlight needs a writer like you.
Or else, I wouldn't be standing here today.
Alright,
let me ask you,
why wasn't my book
nominated for the Huazhi Award?
Why was Zhou Chuan's book nominated?
Sir,
what's the purpose
of you writing?
What do you mean?
If you're frustrated because
Zhou Chuan was nominated
and you're not,
nothing I can say
will make you stay.
But if you're writing for yourself or the readers,
I can give you a million reasons to make you stay.
Xiao Niao, thanks for bringing me here.
I'll do it on my own now.
I'll go with you.
I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for Yuan Yue Publishing House.
My writers need to make a living with their writing.
Okay.
Let's visit Mr Nian Nian together.
We're rejected by so many writers.
It's okay, let's keep moving.
Next, Mr Song Fei Ran.
Sir, Pudong, please.
Okay.
Great boast.
I fell for it when I heard it.
Afternoon Reading
But in fact, he didn't provide any evidence.
In conclusion, I didn't do it. I have the evidence.
But I'm not the witness.
And I don't have the real evidence.
It's happening.
The dad is trying to whitewash his son.
Can't they just sit still and let others mock them?
They are a family after all.
It's the dad's turn now.
Too bad, we have sharp eyes.
